Icy Bubbles In Donner Lake

There was a thin layer of ice on Donner Lake this morning. So I took a little walk with my camera and a mug of hot tea, hoping to find something interesting to shoot. Success! The bubbles were right along the shore of the lake, so you could still see the rocks under the ice. Okay, these aren't going to be my next best-seller images, but I was happy to find these frozen bubbles in the ice and I thought they made for some nice abstract photos.

These were both shot handheld with the Canon 5DS R and a 24-105mm lens.

Alright, that was a nice cool morning, now it's time to go watch the Super Bowl....

GMO Lake water. Don't drink it!!!
Ha! Glad you like that. And yeah, I wouldn't drink that lake water anyway... It's nice and clear but there are a lot of motor boats on it in the summer and a nearby highway that has water drainage runoff into the lake.

It doesn't always happen when the lake freezes, but I like it when it does!

It’s looked like an animation at first but after reading what you wrote it became clearer. Nice shots. Enjoy the Super Bowl

The water of that Lake appears blue-like, my favourite colour. The shots are beautiful.

I thought it's bubbles in a coffee beans! That's a nice aesthetic shot.
